Best Penny Stock Trading Apps: Free Trades, Welcome Bonuses, and More

Investors are fascinated by penny stocks. The low-priced shares allow you to buy in large blocks and potentially earn outsized gains if and when the stock price takes off. But if you want to invest in penny stocks, you should be aware that not all brokers allow the practice. To help you in your search, we’ve compiled a list of what we believe to be the six best penny stock trading apps available right now. But first, let’s take a closer look at what makes a stock a “penny stock.” What Is a Penny Stock? Stocks that trade at under $5 per share are often called penny stocks. In other words, the term doesn’t only refer to stocks that trade for, say, $.57 or $.23. The $5 threshold is somewhat arbitrary. But when a stock trades below that level, it’s considered speculative in nature. That’s because the low price is indicative of a company that’s either brand-new, close to going out of business, or has no earnings and little prospect of generating any in the foreseeable future.

Cool projects from some of my friends

Hello, friends! I have a lot to say, and I've done a lot of work on Get Rich Slowly during the past three weeks, but most of my efforts aren't yet ready for public consumption. The site de-design is 95% complete, but that final five percent is fiddly. I could be ready to launch the new layout tomorrow — or it might be two weeks. It's tough to say. If you're curious, though, you can check out my current progress here . But be warned that the site isn't fully functional. (For fun, I mocked up this very post in the new format so you can see the difference.) I have several long articles in the works — quality! the internet is dying! the sunk-cost fallacy! — but nothing that's wholly finished. And with my attention more focused on the de-design and Real Life than on writing, it'll probably be a while before anything is complete enough to publish. Still, I thought it'd be fun to stop in with a J. Money-esque stream-of-consciousness post to share a some c...
